Crystal Palace star Patrick van Aanholt slams Katie Hopkins for racism in bizarre Twitter spat

PATRICK VAN AANHOLT has slammed Katie Hopkins for racism in a bizarre Twitter spat.

The Crystal Palace star, 29, demanded Hopkins be “cancelled” a completely unnecessary rant following Blackout Tuesday.

Earlier this week, acid-tongued Hopkins said she was going to share a picture of her “arse” for what she was calling “Whiteout Wednesday”.

The tweet came just a day after the world united, sharing a plain black image on social media to condemn racism.

The initiative came about after the shock death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, USA – who was killed by a police officer who knelt on his neck.

Despite cries of, “I can’t breathe”, officer Derek Chauvin continued to press on his neck until he died – and has now been charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.

And on Thursday, Van Aanholt refused to let Hopkins get away with her post, sending a series of replies condemning her response to Blackout Tuesday.

Hopkins had instigated the row, tweeting: “Today is #whiteoutwednesday. I will shortly be posting a picture of my arse. Thank you.”

And Van Aanholt hit back, writing: “I don’t know who she is but WOW… 2020 needs to cancel you.”

Never one to miss out on an argument, Hopkins replied: “Dear @pvanaanholt. My name is Katie Hopkins.

“I am a white Christian Conservative. You May kneel and kiss my ring.”

The Dutch left-back then posted a terrifying picture, captioned: “Katie be like I’m “Christian and I’m white”…. OK THEN.”

Van Aanholt later wrote: “Can’t have racism on Twitter like that mate and not be called out.”

Van Aanholt continued to reply to comments from other Twitter users – finishing off his night’s work by promising to “make time” for Hopkins.

He said: “I would never let her wash my feet, she can clip my toe nails after a 90minute game though.

“Twitter I’m going bed but I can promise you I’ll make time for this Katie Hopkins. Deuces.”
